Fiat 500 Supermini Review

Stylish and punchy, iconic and still standing the test of time. The Fiat 500 is a great car but if you’re still on the fence, read our review to find out the things that make the Fiat 500 fabulous and if it could be the right car for you.

The exterior is instantly recognisable and having been on and off the roads since 1957, it is fair to say that the Fiat 500 has stood the test of time. Whether you’re driving around town or heading somewhere on the motorway, if you pass a Fiat 500 there is no disguising it. One of the more favourable features of the 500 is the sheer range of colours and models available. The quirky colour palettes and a variety of special editions on the market mean that the options to customise a car that fits your personality are seemingly endless.

But what about the drive? It is a pleasant surprise. Let’s first factor in the engine size, which taking the Abarth models out of the equation, the largest one in the line-up is only 1.2 litres. For an engine of this size, the Fiat 500 packs a punch. You won’t be disappointed when you get behind the wheel and you will almost-certainly fall in love with the interior, which is colour matched to the exterior of the car and feels chic and minimalistic, in an oh-so-effortless way.

The beauty of the Fiat 500 is that as cars, they are cheap to buy and cheap to run, without compromising on style and functionality. They make a great first car or city run around, or even as a car for the fashion conscious and those looking for something that has the quirkiness or a MINI or Beetle, but without the hefty price tag.

A great car in its own right and still bears the charm and character that filled the first Fiat 500 in 1957. If you are looking for a used Fiat 500 in Cumbria, get in touch with the team at Border City Autos or view our current stock online.
